Features: The content covered in this book is, of course, not limited to the development of the American West; it nearly encompasses the main development histories in history. In ancient times, apart from China's "" system, it mainly involves the overseas colonization movements of ancient Greece and Rome, as well as the colonization and development activities carried out by Southern Europeans along the eastern coast of the Mediterranean during the Crusades from the 10th to the 13th centuries. Regarding the development activities in the modern and contemporary history of the world, four cases are selected: Canada, the United States, Australia, and Russia developing their frontiers. Among these, three cases fall under the category of "free colony" development. The development of Siberia by Russia went through three stages—Tsarist Russia, the Soviet Union, and the current era—each with distinct backgrounds, approaches, and experiences. The main process occurred during the Soviet period under a planned economy, and its lessons are particularly noteworthy.
